Dragonkin: The Ancestral Blood

"Akemi, do what is right. No matter what, you will take revenge for me. "

Long ago, there was a young Dragonkin named Akemi. She had not only the powerful blood of the royals, but the ghosts of her ancestor haunting her for as long as she could remember. Over time, she felt her sanity slipping, yet she refused to abide by their wishes of revenge. However, when her grandmother suddenly passed away, she was alone with the ancestor demanding their revenge.

Knowing her reluctance, the ancestor proposed an agreement. If she were to take revenge for them against the powerful water dragonkin, Ryujin, they would leave her alone for good. Within her desperate state, the mere thought of any form of freedom was addictive. She gave into the temptation with a single thought in her mind...

"I had nothing left to lose."
